About our fire rated sealant in Woodham Walter
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after a refit or conversion and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
Somewhere as small as Woodham Walter, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why it’s worth doing now in Woodham Walter
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woodham Walter can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

Fire rated sealant in Woodham Walter: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Hatfield Peverel station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Woodham Walter, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
